Hourly rate x (total contract hours + total preparation hours)
Preparation Hours: two hours of preparation time for each contract hour taught.
Example: A faculty member who earns $12 per hour (contract rate) would be paid the following for a
three-credit hour course:
$12 x (45 contract hours + 90 preparation hours)
$12 x (135 hours) = $1,620.00
Scheduling for summer school must consider preparation hours as well as contract hours when determining
total class length.
